In a new exposé published by CNN, the 80-year-old actor is alleged to have lifted up a production assistant's skirt during filming of the movie Going In Style in 2015 and asked if she "was wearing underwear."

A senior member of production staff on the film Now You See Me – which was filmed in 2012 – also alleges that Freeman sexually harassed her, constantly commenting on her body as well as other female production staff.

Another six women claim to have been victims of sexual harassment while eight said they witnessed such behaviour.

Four entertainment industry professionals who worked with Freeman over a 10-year period say he repeatedly behaved in a way that made women feel uncomfortable.
